From planning to set up to incredible performance, Jared and Champagne Live were a pleasure to work with! Jared’s expertise in planning the set list was invaluable. His foresight helped us design a perfect plan, and it was all implemented with skill (and flexibility… even with the glitch of a power failure!) Many of our wedding guests commented to me that they had never heard a band so talented, so energetic, just so good! The dance floor was hopping from beginning to end. The evening was magical. I could not recommend this group more highly.
Response from Champagne Live:
It was such an amazing night and we are grateful to have been a part of it. The band is looking forward to celebrating with you again!
